Philippines Travel Tips

Philippines is a wonderful place for a vacation, but like all other places it pays to take precautions to ensure your personal safety. Here you will find safety tips that will make your holiday both enjoyable and safe.

1. The main rule is this: stay alert to your surroundings!

2. Don't walk down alleys or through parks at night.

3. Do not wear flashy jewelry.

4. Carry everyday items in a plastic bag, not an expensive looking briefcase or purse.

5. If you carry a purse, loop the strap over your shoulder, not around your neck.

6. Beware of someone who approaches you in the street and holds out a newspaper as if offering it for sale. The newspaper is simply a shield for his hand that will reach under the paper and empty your shirt pocket.

7. Never get staggering drunk.

8. Walk confidently as if you know where you are going, not as if you are lost.

9. Don't keep all your valuables in one place -- spread them about. For example, your cash in one pocket, your keys in another pocket, and your cell phone in a secure belt case.
